They are a handful of companies out of thousands of publicly listed ones, thousands more private concerns. Each were their own sicknesses — no signs of rampant illness.

My conclusion: Most companies are soundly run, most CEOs are decent and most enterprises aren't run like criminal enterprises. And the ones that are, are eventually caught.

Sarbanes-Oxley came about as a means to police all, but I think it's left more companies burdened by the suspicion of guilt than guilt itself. So they pay the enormous legal and bureaucratic costs not to be another Enron — even though the vast, overwhelming majority are not.

The fact is, there will always be crooked players in a system, Sarbanes-Oxley or not. The reality since the fall of Enron is the amazing fact they are so few. And the good guys — who get no press — are so many.

The guy at the airport didn't want to hear it. I guess being an optimist, but I was duty-bound to say it.
